He hasn't won any single slam outside of AO since 2011 and now that it's 2014 already, he needs to win at least one of RG, Wimbledon, or US OPEN to prove that he's better than Murray who won the same amount of slam outside of AO as Djokovic.

Before worrying about Nadal chasing Roger's all-time grand slam record, we should also worry about Djokovic's capability of winning a slam this year.

Do you think he can win any of Wimbledon/RG/Us Open this year, which he hasn't been able to the last 2-3 years?

If he can't do this this year, I doubt he can do it before he retires.

please vote & share!
 
From what I gather he still has to win 7 matches to bag that 5th AO. So it is not even a given he wins the AO this year.
From what I have been reading from threads and posts he has very little chance at the AO this year and the only one he might have a small chance to bring home is the US Open and that is only because it will be gifted to him after everyone is injured and tired.
So Yes he might have a very very slim chance to get the US Open. Prob will only be able to bag maybe one Masters 1000 in 2014 if he is lucky.

Same situation as Nadal who hadn't won a slam outside of RG since 2010 when 2013 started. As long as Djoko remains competitive in slams (reaching finals), he will have a chance to win them. Only Fed, Nadal and Djoko have won 3+ of the slams among active players. The big question for Novak is: can he join the other 2 (and Agassi) for the record all 4? All eyes on RG from now on until he retires!

I'm always a little puzzled why some of us think Djokovic's AO titles don't count? :confused:

Last time I looked, the Australian Open is a Grand Slam and whoever wins it is a Grand Slam winner. Why should Djokovic's 4 AO titles detract from his stature as a Grand Slam champion anymore than Nadal's 8 French Open titles or Federer's 7 Wimbledons detract from them?

Given that Djokovic already has a US Open and Wimbledon title and appeared in other finals there including the last 4 at the USO, it stands to reason that he is capable of winning them both again.

I am with you Mate. It baffles the mind. The AO just might be the most modern and the one major that best represents tennis in the modern age. I think it has to do with old self righteous farts as well.....young vibrant happy people tend to have very little negative to say about the AO.

Look, mate, it doesn't matter what crazy tennis fans on internet forums say. AO is a grand slam like the FO, USO and Wimbledon. If anyone has a problem with that, they should talk to the ITF and ATP 8)

Same as some of us trying to argue that Nadal's clay records should not count, or not count as much as records on other surfaces. Butthurt talk ;)
 
A CYGS for Djokovic in 2014 would be nice to shut up uncooling forever. :)

He is a Federer fan. Not sure if he is a Novak fan.
Djokovic Bros have to deal with so many self righteous old farts we start thinking everyone is an SROF!

He's definitely a Djokovic fan as well but is the brethren for just Nole fans exclusively? At any rate I feel honoured to be apart of it. :)

I am counting only those who are primarily Djokovic fans first and then the fans of other players. Otherwise there will be a lot of golden eagles in our brethren. ;)
Hitman is a Fed fan but also likes Djokovic. Similar is the case with Zagor, sbengte, Towser83, dudeski etc.

Nope. They were called Semi-brethren. These would sound as childish monikers but it was fun. :)

I wonder when will Bob start the new brethren thread? He had told that it would be at the beginning of 2014. This time it will be ensured that even people with no sense of humor aren't offended. :D

AO count but they give more praise if he spread his wins on other slams. He dominated the AO and doesn't need to proved anymore except the other slam, especially Wimbledon because it's the biggest event. It's similar to Nadal who dominated the FO and doesn't need to win on clay anymore, but other slams including win at least 1 WTF should be his goal.
 
Probably not. There is a reason he has only done so once. I am not even sure he will win the Australian Open either.

I heard that if Nadal wins AO he automatically becomes the GOAT but for Djokovic it doesn't count !

I think Joker could well win 2 this year.

Well, it's pitiful that you posted about haters 20 minutes after a non Novak fan posted anything was possible. Do you ignore all posts you can't call trolling? Seems to be the modus operandi of your Brethran that can only respond when they can ******* the posts or a posts supports them.
 
Well someone has to. Novak does have a shot at beating Nadal at the French, more than anyone else. He's consistent enough at Wimbledon and although Nadal and Murray can beat him, he's undeniably a factor. I'll put him as the favourite at the US in fact.

He's not guaranteed anything, but he's a factor in every slam. The numbers mean he could easily get two slams. I'd happily put money on it.
 
To win FO he has to defeat Nadal.
To win wimbledon he has to beat Muzz and Fed.
To win USO ,AO he has to beat......???
So he can and should win AO and USO this year IMO.
Other two he can get to Final or Semis.

Nothing is stopping Nole from winning FO 2014 in my humblest of opinions. Nadal got lucky last year...
 
Djokovic has remarkable consistency at the slams, shadows of Federer's incredible run. This makes him a contender for all the slams, and he has the game to win on all surfaces.

These big matches are often decided on the smallest of margins, and being as good as he is, he always at least gets himself into a position where he can have a go. So why not?

Looking forward to him defending the AO title in style, and march on towards another shot at immortality in Paris.
